Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

In a small bowl, whisk together the Italian salad dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the dressing mixture over the pasta and vegetables. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
